Sunopsis announced Sunopsis Data Conductor, an
extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) solution. With Data Conductor,
you define business rules graphically through the product's drag-and-drop interface
and store the rules independently from the implementation, decreasing your development
and maintenance time. Instead of using the traditional ETL approach, Sunopsis
uses an extract, load, and transform approach in which the relational database
management system (RDBMS) in your data warehouse server executes all data transformations.
Data Conductor also performs automatic data-quality control while data is being
processed and contains metadata features that include dependency graphs, cross
referencing, and impact analysis. For more information about Sunopsis Data Conductor,
